BOOK
III IN THE GUARDIANS OF TIME TRILOGY
Nothing will be resolved
here.
Nothing is ever resolved
without war.
It is the way of the
universe.
The Guardians must face the final battle for life on
Earth
A rustling, snapping sound jolts me back to the
reality of where I am and what my responsibilities are.
“What is it?” she whispers against my chest.
My arms tighten around her, instinctively feeling the
need to protect. Something, or someone is out there. The sound is too much like
a twig being purposefully snapped in two. “It’s nothing.” I try to reassure.
“Is someone watching?” she asks again.
I don’t voice my suspicions out loud and I screen them

The Order of
Chaos begins its final and devastating assault on the Named in a desperate bid
to annihilate them and gain absolute control of all the realms. The Named are
in trouble. Not only must they find the precious lost key to unlock their
ancient treasury of weapons, but there is a traitor in their midst. Suspicion
is making them weaker, as the prophecy predicted, and they desperately need new
hope.
The Key has been
published in the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Spain, Catalan,

This final
volume in the Guardians of Time Trilogy
is told from the perspectives of Matt and Rochelle, and stands on its own as a

up in a series of exciting climaxes. The narrative point of view rotates as
